  1. Peeps and wood frogs out in force finally here in my neighborhood, though no pics unfortunately. Just this Boeing 737 and some really nosey deer.
  2. I'm glad you found it too! Thank you so much for sharing this! Can't believe this thread is still going all these years later lol From what you've described, there is no doubt in my mind that you knew my grandfather and my Uncle Bobby. I didn't read back to see if I'd mentioned it before, but yes, my grandfather was indeed a plumber by trade, after having served as a Navy boiler tech in Korea. My uncle continued to run the plumbing/handyman "business" - in quotes because it was primarily just for family and friends - for many years after my grandfather was no longer physically able. Not sure about the house you mention on Freezer Rd, but that lines up too, as he owned a summer home on Dexter Ave and I know he helped build some of the other properties in the Town Neck area as well. I never knew all those years ago when I made this post that this was such a controversial fish with all sorts of legends and rumors attached to it! Even now I'm surprised to hear that it was potentially a Canal caught fish and that you still have the rod (which is awesome, by the way) when I'm almost certain I was told that it wasn't. It's funny how time and memories distort and fade. Honestly, it doesn't really matter in the big scheme. I'm glad at least someone remembers my family who were absolute legends to me, and that this thread got some folks talking and reminiscing! One last quick question, you said your grandfather Benny lived in Boston. Was this possibly in the South Boston/maybe Dorchester area?
  3. Never seen more than a few minutes of any of the Star Wars movies.
  4. That's right, I'd heard about that too now that you mention it. I believe that was a blue/fin whale cross? Or maybe fin/minke?
  5. Spent about 2.5 hours at a couple of my local spots tonight here in Middlesex County. I don't have any mikez2 quality pics but things are definitely coming to life. Heard some earlybird peepers and wood frogs, saw lots of newts and two spotted salamanders already in the pools, and some surprisingly large tadpoles that Im guessing must have been bullfrogs? Do they overwinter??
  6. Hasn't happened yet with the much more populous Pacific right whale - that I know of? - so I'm guessing probably not.
  7. Yup, I plan on spending some time in the woods tonight to see who might be stirring!
  8. I'll second that. Never understood the hate that either of them get as far as edibility goes. Both are pretty good in my opinion but would prefer fresh bluefish, gun to my head.
